The eco-friendly home Devon or Las Vegas, Plum Guide home in Devon, UK

Click to book Devon or Las Vegas now: from £200 per night Just because you're staying close to the seaside, it doesn't mean that your home has to be filled with bleached driftwood walls and seashells on every surface. With this recently built and eco-friendly house in the Devon town of Challaborough, the clever use of colour, statement lighting and modern furnishings wouldn't look out of place in any urban environment. What a city flat wouldn't have, however, is the glorious views you get here through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, from the outside seating on the deck or up on the roof terrace. When you're ready to see even more of this corner of England, the South West Coast Path is a two-minute walk away and if followed for just over an hour and a half, will get you to Wonwell Beach. Slightly closer to home is Bigbury Beach, which can be reached in eighteen minutes on foot. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
